Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami slams Congress as ‘issue‑less’ in recent remarks

Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, addressing reporters in Uttarakhand, asserted that the Indian National Congress no longer presents any concrete agenda. He said the party is resorting to “unnecessary issues” to stay relevant, a criticism that underscores the growing political rivalry in the state.

Dhami’s comments came amid ongoing debates over development projects and governance reforms in the hill state. While he did not name specific initiatives, his remarks implied that the Congress’s recent statements lack substance and are aimed at creating distractions.

The opposition, however, has not yet responded publicly to the CM’s statements. Political analysts note that such sharp rhetoric is typical ahead of the next electoral cycle, as parties vie for voter attention in a region where local issues often dominate.

The CM reiterated his government’s focus on delivering tangible outcomes for citizens, emphasizing infrastructure, tourism, and disaster‑management measures as priority areas.

Observers will watch how the Congress reacts, as the exchange adds another layer to the political dynamics shaping Uttarakhand’s future.
